THE LEGACY SHALL LIVE ON FOR THE PEBBLE! XD its fun to see others watched the abriged series. I would be on the game with tons of pebbles throwing them at people, I shall be known as the new pebble lord all it takes is one pebble to rule them all!

First of all I would laugh if I saw someone take down a boss with pebbles.

Second of all for the servers I was thinking there would be 3 types. One where if you died you would just respawn, another where if you died your character would be deleted, or loose all exp/equipment. And another where if you died you would be deleted/loose all exp/equipment, or be kicked from server. And everyone is trying to get to the 100th boss together, so if you die in that server, you can't enter until either everyone dies, or they beat the 100th boss. Or maybe there will also be a time limit so you can't just sit their and not die or fight.

An idea I had about that permadeath stuff is that we have a server where if you die, you respawn with penalties: lose item carried, negative status for limited time, some Attribute lowered.AND, we run Hardcore Events (HE) every few months and gather a few hundred players to beat the game from Floor 1 to 100 with permadeath and see how far they can go.For that HE, you can create a new character OR take the risk to continue with the same one and keep your skills and abilities but risk to die and get delete.If you die in an HE with a new character, you'll go back to your original character. If you die with your original character in an HE, it gets deleted and you're prompted to create new character on the server.None can enter an HE once it has started.

I believe this way we avoid getting new players on Hardcore mode, while giving the opportunity to everyone to participate. I believe it makes it more like SAO this way.. everyone starts at the same floor and work together to level up.

I think that the pebble wasn't a "sword" skill but rather an agro-bait system which allowed Kline to charge and use his "sword" skill. I think it would be great to have this so you can pick of single monsters rather than agro'ing the group.

Also I was wondering if more passive support abilities will be in place.(Buffs, Debuffs, Healing, attack boost, defense down, ect.) (Ranged supports are the only role I'm good at in games :3).

Owex I think your Idea is great for a server system. but would the HE's make is so the others wouldn't be able to play at all or would it be another server.

Hey guys just found out about this and it looks pretty cool. I've only skimmed through the thread so sorry if someone has said this but I've got a question about character progression in the game. I'll use an example to explain:Let's say there is 500 people on the server and the top 25 are the ones killing bosses and clearing floors. They will get all the good loot and be way ahead of the other people. So I'm wondering:Will the bosses respawn so lower levels can kill them, and catch up, and how will progression work, will it be gear based or level based.

I also think there should be some sort of guild system(not social) which would make more play styles viable. Like a Guild of Alchemy which provides EXP and loot bonuses to alchemists, or a Guild of Blacksmiths which gives Enough EXP to level up your character through crafting alone

They've gotten all the help they need.

On the topic of the HE by Owex. Will the HE be open to everyone to sign up or will the top tier players be chosen and invited to participate? Personally I think it really wouldnt matter however it would be better to include active players or else half the population of the HE server won't play and it will fail.

Sounds really great and it seems like a much tighter community may arise where everyone knows each other and work well with each other.

There may be some requirement to participate, but it's yet to be determined.

Bosses will respawn, but once it is defeated one time, everyone has access to the floor.Progression will be based on gear quality and on your individual Skill levels. Unlike the anime your Overall Level doesn't not give you more health.
